1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink, or you can place it in the freezer for a few minutes.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of dry vermouth, and 0.5 oz of olive brine. Make sure to measure accurately for the best flavor.
3
Add Ice
Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice cubes. This will help chill and dilute the drink properly.
4
Shake or Stir
Put the lid on the shaker and either shake vigorously for about 15 seconds or stir gently for 30 seconds. Shaking will give you a frothier texture, while stirring will keep it smoother.
5
Strain into Glass
Remove the ice water from your chilled martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed drink into the glass, making sure to leave any ice behind.
6
Garnish
Garnish your Dirty Martini with 3 green olives on a skewer or simply drop them into the drink. If desired, add an optional garnish like a lemon twist.
7
Serve
Your Dirty Martini is now ready to serve! Enjoy responsibly.
